Murray dives to get a pen. Why are so many irish players complete pricks? Sexton, Murray, Earls...

Chatting back? Yes. Murray dived though. He fell as if his legs had been pulled out from under him, flat on his front. Impossible to do so from the way Strauss was trying to roll away.Big D wrote:Dull from Strauss.

Weeg need to be careful with how many of these long range kicks they get Hogg to take. He always seems to do his hammy on 60 mins whenever he's kicking 'em. Still 6-6

Of course the chatting back. Made the kick a chip shot.hugh_woatmeigh wrote:Chatting back? Yes. Murray dived though. He fell as if his legs had been pulled out from under him, flat on his front. Impossible to do so from the way Strauss was trying to roll away.Big D wrote:Dull from Strauss.

Hopefully the HT team talk was just keep the pen down and to Finn... stop being a d!ckhead in attack. Weeg are better than Munster here.
Don't give them kicks at goal and keep the ball in hand. They can't live with the attack.

Cracking first half. One mistake will decide the game I think.

There you go. Fantastic few phases of play when Glasgow keep the ball in hand. The gaps are opening.

Oh Russell... You don't need to try do something spectacular every time you have the ball. Wasted opportunity again.

Absolutely brilliant double up from Russell and Swinson. Swinson probably deserves the shirt alongside JG this 6N. He's on fire.

Up and unders appear to be a useful way for Munster to gain a few metres and retain the ball. Glasgow cannot deal with them. Not dangerous, just not taking them.

Finn has his kicking boots on tonight. Good kick. 12-9.

I think this ref has no control. Munster should have had a card by now. They're doing something cynical every maul or breakdown.
Looks like Swinson has taken a serious hit. Ouch. Should probably retract my ref statement, he blew up and called medics on immediately.

WTF. He was motionless for at least a few seconds, should he not be going off for a HIA?

Oh jesus. That is ridiculous. The bloke cut inside and hoggy slapped the Munsterman's face by accident. Yellow card?

If he'd been tackled around the face I'd understand the card...

It's contact with the head it's a yellow all day under the new guidelines.

Re: The Glasgow Carpet Burns and Cary Grant Appreciation Thread
Then they don't work do they? You have to apply a bit of common sense. Especially in the red zone like that. If he'd gone outside Hogg would have tackled him around the chest easily. That's almost certainly cost Glasgow the game.Big D wrote:It's contact with the head it's a yellow all day under the new guidelines.

I don't like the guidelines but they are what they are. It would have been a penalty before.

Glasgow have completely bottled this. I have no idea what they're trying to do. 2 mins left on the clock and they spent 1 of those with the ball up their jumper by trying to maul on the halfway line. Their heads have gone.

The Hogg card made it pretty difficult to come back but Glasgow left far too many points on the field. Munster didn't have to do very much tbh.
Swinson was absolutely superb and should be MoM if he hasn't got it already.

Going to be touch and go whether 18/19 points is enough.

Re: The Glasgow Carpet Burns and Cary Grant Appreciation Thread
I disagree. I'll slate Hogg all day long for many things but he did nothing wrong. If these new guidelines are going to work common sense HAS to prevail. The Munster runner went down to go into contact after cutting inside. That's a chest height tackle and he just left his arm out. It is quite simply not possible for a human to react that quickly. It's never a yellow and it's never a pen. It's a silly accident.Big D wrote:I don't like the guidelines but they are what they are. It would have been a penalty before.
PS, just saw the replays, had no idea the drop goal position was so good. Another horrible decision from Russell today.
